Pine Squirrel

Squirrel leech is a very effective fly pattern that actually swims like leech, which is one of the favorite foods of fish, including trout. This leech fly pattern comes in different colors and sizes, making them even more useful.

How to Properly Cast 

If you are interested in using the fly fishing method to catch fish, here are a few steps you need to follow. 

• To set the nymph or leech fly, you first have to tie it well to the leader or tippet on the string or line.  
• Then, attach the hook. Generally speaking, #8–12 hook sizes should be used, depending on the type of fish to be caught and the local water conditions.
• Then, make a knot and tighten it as much as possible to avoid the fly from coming off when casting.    
• Make use of a floating line or a sinking line depending on the water surface where the fish feed. 

The appropriate way of using our fly fishing gear is by placing the fly at the upstream level and letting it flow naturally along the downstream flow. This technique imitates the action of real insects on water, and the fish are trapped when they attempt to reach for it. 

In slower waters, a slow retrieval should be used so as to give the impression that the fly is swimming. However, keep in mind that casting techniques vary depending on water conditions and the type of fish in a particular area.
